AUSTIN COLLEGE CLASS OF 2023 GRADUATES LISTED
On an unseasonably cool, clear day, Austin College students, faculty, and staff celebrated with friends and families of the Class of 2023 degree candidates at Commencement on Saturday, May 20, at 8:30 a.m. Seniors, faculty, and Trustees processed onto Clyde L. Hall Graduation Court to conclude the 174th academic year and celebrate the students’ achievements.
Baccalaureate services had been held Friday at 7 p.m. in Wynne Chapel with Rev. Dr. Robyn Byrd Michalove, associate pastor for Mission and Family Ministries at First Presbyterian Church in Fort Worth, Texas, delivering the sermon. Music, scripture, and prayers rounded out the service.
Dr. Michalove received an honorary doctorate during the Commencement ceremony, along with Deborah Crombie ’76, New York Times bestselling author. Michalove received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree; Crombie received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree.
Senior speaker Carolina Vazquez Saavedra, selected by her classmates, spoke of keeping childlike wonder as the new graduates leave Austin College. “Children teach us how to have fun, how to laugh, how to see each other in complete purity, they see no good or bad, no race, no ethnicity, no class, no malice,” she said. “I went about my college experience trying to be an adult. I should have gone about it as a child. Sharing my entirety, my most treasured self, my most hurt self, entrusting that the world would listen and protect me because I would do the same. As we graduate, I invite you to learn from them….”
President Steven O’Day, J.D., L.H.D., presented the Commencement Address. He spent a moment recounting the historic challenges the class members had faced including the COVID 19 pandemic, online classes, and north Texas ice storms. Then he directed the audience to consider that many say a college education is not valuable, saying, “You’ve also studied and learned at a time when the value of higher education, your education, has been questioned, doubted, even diminished by some. Well, you know better! We know better! We know that what you have learned here will serve you well. You have learned how to learn. You have learned how to think, not what to think.”
He continued, “How do I know? Because I’ve seen what you’ve done. You’ve designed your own majors. You’ve discovered planets, conducted research, and conducted the choir. You’ve written papers, poems, and scholarly articles. You’ve practiced, competed, and persevered. You have spent hours, days, weeks, in the lab, in the field, and in the studio. I’ve seen you blaze new trails with leadership skills that you’ve developed, and I’ve seen you give back with a commitment to service to others. You’ve lived together, shown compassion, empathy, tolerance, and compromise—you’ve learned how to live closely in a community that is larger than yourself—even when it hasn’t been easy.”
He left the students with an encouraging passage from Ralph Waldo Emerson, ““This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your hearts, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendship to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, love to complete your life.”
The Graduates
Approximately 3,500 people gathered on the graduation court to celebrate the reading of graduates’ names including 15 Master of Arts in Teaching degree candidates and about 275 Bachelor of Arts degree candidates. President O’Day presented each graduate with an Austin College Commemorative Coin engraved with Carpe Diem as a token of their achievement and membership in a group of helpful, invested alumni. Each candidate shook hands with President O’Day and were hooded by two faculty members, then returned to their seats as new alumni.
Students were recognized for high academic achievement with Latin honors and participation in the Departmental Honors Program. Those designated Summa Cum Laude earned a grade point average of 3.85 or higher on a 4.0 scale, Magna Cum Laude earned 3.70 to 3.84, and Cum Laude earned 3.5 to 3.69. Departmental Honors students are invited by faculty members to complete and defend an honors Thesis in a particular department. Twenty-two members of Class of 2023 completed the Honors Program.
Dr. Elizabeth Gill, vice president for Academic Affairs also announced two special awards. “Each year, the faculty selects two outstanding scholars in the graduating class for special recognition by the Board of Trustees,” she said. “The awards are made, with no distinction between them, on the basis of the student’s entire academic record as reflected on the transcript, the balance in course distribution, cumulative grade point average, and credits earned.”
The Kidd medal is made possible through the generous gift of a Houston resident in memory of his friend J.C. Kidd and was first presented in 1940. The Robinson medal is given in memory of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Robinson of McKinney and was first presented in 1935. The Kidd Recipient for 2023 is Katherine McBroom. The Robinson Recipient for 2023 is Avery Atencio.
All who completed the requirements received their diplomas “with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto,” as granted by Board of Trustees chair L. Scott Austin, J.D., class of 1983. Tassels were turned, mortarboards were tossed skyward, and the event closed with an encouraging word from alumni board president Jack Wylie, class of 1987, and the traditional singing of “The Lord Bless You and Keep You” by members of the A Cappella choir.
